Konoha, Death Forest.
Lightning Style! Lightning Blade!!
Zzzzz!!!
Right above Isamu, with a crackle of lightning, appeared Sakumo. The short blade in his hand coated with blue thunder slashed downward at him.
"It's over. There's not even enough time to make a hand sign," said Shimura Danzo with a certain look on his sharp and handsome face, giving the verdict that Sakumo had won.
But what happened next caused every jonin present, including the Hokage himself, to show an astonished face.
Everyone saw that Isamu, facing the approaching Lightning Blade, was still calm, chakra swirling in his right palm as instantly a blue rotating ball of chakra condensed in his hands.
"Rasengan," muttered Isamu as he brought the chakra ball in his hands before the approaching blade, both colliding.
BOOM!!!
A massive explosion took place at the moment of impact, even the ground under cracking, dust rising up along with wind.
Swish! Thud!!
From the dust that obscured the impact point, a familiar short blade flew out and drilled into the ground, some blood still lingering on the handle. Soon the dust dispersed, and the much-anticipated result of the battle was revealed to everyone.
Isamu stood with his hands in his pockets, not much different from the start aside from some dust on his face and chunin jacket, but the same could not be said for Sakumo. He lay before Isamu with eyes white and blood constantly pouring out of his right hand.
"Thankfully, I held back at the last moment," muttered Isamu while looking at Sakumo's bloody hand, feeling a bit relieved secretly. His attack, in terms of power, was way greater than Sakumo's, as right at the moment of impact, Sakumo's attack was nullified immediately, and the blade slipped out of his hands, blown away.
But his Rasengan continued on its path to hit Sakumo, who had passed out already due to the strong wind which generated at the moment of impact and hit him directly like a hammer, coughing blood, and then his world going black.
"Wow!!"
"What was that Ninjutsu? So strong!"
"A Jutsu which doesn't require hand signs and so powerful. Is that guy really a chunin?"
Whether it were the genin, chunin, or jonin, they were all shocked by Isamu's Ninjutsu, some even doubting his identity as a chunin.
Swish!
"Phew."
The jonin who was presiding over the fight quickly arrived near the passed-out Sakumo and let out a relieved breath after sensing his steady breath, meaning he was not in danger.
"Maybe I overdid it a little," explained Isamu after seeing the jonin like this, who just gave him a side-eye and, picking up the wounded Sakumo, flashed away.
"That Ninjutsu, it's almost the pinnacle of change in chakra form. And also, why does it resemble that so much?" Tobirama, unlike most present, instantly saw through the mechanism behind Isamu's Ninjutsu. While surprised at Isamu's attainment in change in chakra form, what truly shocked him was how much this Ninjutsu resembled something really terrifying.
Thinking of this, Tobirama's eyes, gazing at Isamu, couldn't help but show a deep look.
Much to the relief of other genin, Isamu, after his first fight, didn't have to fight anyone else again, and the exam ended after two hours.
Isamu, who was about to head back home outside the tower, was stopped by the Anbu who had led him inside the tower when he had arrived earlier.
"Please head to the Hokage's office as soon as possible."
Swish!
The Anbu said that and flashed away. In Isamu's calm eyes, not much surprised at this sudden summon by the Hokage — or actually, something he wanted to happen — one of the reasons he had been so high profile today rather than just paddling through.
